Irritants Are Also Important

#spirituality
A thing may be small in stature or status, it's no less in significance.

Every thing or being, seen around has its utility, has a predefined role to play in the inscrutable design of the Almighty.

One must never underestimate the importance of any being. If one harms other creatures then one is doing so only at one's own peril.

Mobile radiations, imposing, innumerable human dwellings are making sparrows extinct.

God forbid, if all the beautiful birds become extinct, we would no longer be able to listen to their melodious chirpings that provide much needed delight and relaxation from the monotony of daily grind. The mere sight of peacocks, parrots uplifts even the most lugubrious soul.

If चंदा मामा (moon) goes on a prolonged "strike", there would be no more sea waves. Marine life, medicinal sea plants would be adversely affected. Also, there would be no fruits, vegetables as according to the Ayurveda, beams of the moon are responsible for imbuing fruits and vegetables with delicious, healthy juices. Everything is interconnected.

Trust me, irritants in the world are for our own good, for our evolution.

A friend of mine told me the other day how he has become fed up of his college going son who bullies him into fulfilling his unreasonable, exorbitant desires.

A lady acquaintance incessantly complains about her tyrannical husband, who always finds faults with her work, criticizes and thrashes her publicly, for no apparent reason.

For the wise, these irritants are eye-openers. They reveal that instead of finding solace outside, one must turn towards one's own self so as to find true, everlasting joy.

Irritants make us realize that this world is nothing but a place full of sorrows, griefs and deceits.

In the absence of these irritants, one would remain stuck with this illusory world. One would then never make efforts to attain one's ultimate goal-of becoming an indispensable part of परमात्मा (Supreme Soul).
